The 12 Toolbox practices and strategies of Toolbox Project are unlike any other SEL curriculum because they were developed  in a K-8 school with students over an 8-year period. The Toolbox Project's approach is innovative in discovering and uncovering the students’ innate capacity for wholeness, which fosters genuine personal and systemic change in their lives. Welcome to the story of Toolbox Project as we share the key components that create positive lasting life long change.

Mentis is passionate about providing equitable, accessible, and effective mental health care to the youth in our valley. Our mission is based on educating, inspiring, and supporting the mental health needs of the community, including those with limited access to care. During this panel presentation, we are collaborating with various agencies to discuss our joint efforts in supporting the needs of newcomer youth and their families. The panel will discuss current trends, impacts of immigration on mental health, barriers to accessing care, and our successes. Furthermore, the panel will emphasize how each organization plays a crucial role in supporting youth and families during this period of transition.
The key takeaways from this panel include raising awareness about the experiences of newcomer youth, emphasizing the importance of offering a diverse range of resources, and highlighting the impact of community agencies working together as a united front. 

This session will explore how schools can create nurturing learning environments that enhance student well-being and academic success. Participants will examine survey data trends from the Challenge Success Student Experience Survey, administered to over 350,000 middle and high school students and focused on student well-being, belonging, and engagement. They will gain valuable tools and strategies to improve student well-being and learn how schools across the country have used critical insights about the student experience to change policies and practices.

1. Inspire Innovative Thinking: Encourage participants to question traditional methods and explore creative, out-of-the-box strategies for supporting students.

2. Understand TIC: Provide a comprehensive overview of Trauma-Informed Care, including its principles, benefits, and the crucial role it plays in the classroom.

3. Advocate for TIC Certification: Discuss the importance of TIC certification for educators, alongside first aid and CPR, and why it should be a priority in California and beyond.

4. Practical Application: Share actionable strategies for integrating TIC practices into daily routines, creating a safer and more supportive environment for all students.

5. Call to Action: Motivate educators to take the next steps in advocating for and obtaining TIC certification, thereby becoming champions for their students' well-being.

Participants will learn about the importance of the peer-led model, hear from youth mental health advocates, and participate in a variety of wellness activities hosted by students. Participants will also learn about Bring Change to Mind (BC2M) and our resources for our mental health awareness clubs in high schools across the country, including Napa, CA.

Participants in this workshop will learn more about the California Peer Run Warm Line’s unique service, which empowers individuals to seek help on their own terms and is available 24/7 and statewide to callers of all ages.  

Individuals who contact the CA Warm Line seek support for a wide variety of issues, including anxiety, panic, depression, hearing voices, and other mental health experiences; feelings of isolation and loneliness, challenges in interpersonal relationships, substance use, and the impacts of current events including the pandemic.

Unlike many crisis services, the CA Warm Line is a completely voluntary and self-directed resource, allowing individuals to reach out on their own terms without fear of being forced into clinical interventions.

People choose the CA Warm Line because they feel understood and validated by trained counselors who have lived experience with mental health challenges, creating connection through empathy, mutuality, active listening, and reflecting that their stories and feelings matter.

Audience members will feel prepared to use our service for themselves, to share the resource with others, and integrate our values into how they understand mental health resources. We hope this presentation will be valuable in discussions with family, friends, classmates, coworkers, and their larger communities for years to come!
